Loser's Round 2
Salena (MK) vs Pon (Ganon)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaZrfTqKSmE

Game 2 is every Ganon's nightmare.
I like the way that Ganon uses empty jumps in neutral. It reminds me to do them more as well, it's one of those things I'll remember only occasionally is useful to bait people. That second game though, oh man that's painful to watch. I wonder if good DI would even help get out of that or we're just screwed. Nair probably isn't fast enough :/

Karoegu (Pikachu) vs Ken (Ganon)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPCP9dggRxc

I feel this match was way too good to be round 1. This is that same Pikachu from that crazy awesome Japanese Pikachu (and Megaman) vs Ganon match last year. This is the first time I've seen him since then, it seems he still has a Ganon problem.

Ken (Ganon) vs Shi-ma (T. Link)

FD versus Toon Link seems like a complete nightmare. I can't believe he took him back there for game 3.

moofpi moofpi Wow, he camped that spot and knew. Weather some want to call it using your environment or stages to an advantage, thats a super cheap tactic.

That was a ton of fun jman. My Dorf needs work with spacing, I think.

You knew the ditto well enough but I can't comment on your other match ups. I did better vs ROB than I thought I would but I still hate that guy. Your spacing could use some work and there were times when you got a bit predictable in your approach. You definitely know what you're doing though which was nice lol.

Improvement is the fun of the game to me. I've always been kinda bad with Flame Choke follow ups, which disappoints me, but that just shows I need more work. You're definitely the better Dorf, but I don't think I'm too far off.

Fought Marss, got bodied, help.

I know some of the more obvious things I did wrong but still, I'm pretty bad against any ZSS.

He did try to Ganon ditto me game 2. I was doing alright but then he Rock Crock'ed me and I was pretty shaken during my second stock.

Anyways, what should have I been trying to do during neutral?

Also me vs. a Fox in the same tournament if anyone's interested.

Deotay Deotay I watched your matches and I'll comment. First of all, stop wearing lame sweaters. That sweater is bottom tier trash and it should be discarded asap. But more importantly I'll comment on the Fox match. Honestly the only thing I didn't like was that when you used Bair a lot of the time you'd FF it and you'd get landing lag. Against Fox he can wreck you if you do that too much so try to SHFF AC Bair more, you'd still hit Fox and it's safer.

Yeah holy **** deo that sweater is atrocious, leave this place until that sweater is disposed of
**** you guys, it's a hoodie and it's comfortable as ****.

Also for the B-Airs, those were supposed to be baits to get an F-Tilt after or a Flame Choke if he ran up and shielded it. But yeah, I do need to get more comfortable with SHFF AC'ing.

It's because of that loser sweater mentality that you aren't winning tourneys. As a friend I'm telling you that that sweater/hoodie/abomination to all life, is worse than the bottom of bottom tier. Also we discussed it in the chat and we figured out you're a closet Yankees fan. You scrub.

That maintenance timing is amazing...

My Dorf needs a lot of work. Half the time I don't know how to deal with his spacing tools in the ditto because of my lack of experience against more skilled Dorf players. I have my moments, but that seems to be pretty uncommon.

You're still a good player though, just work on your bad approaches and your spacing. Also start to ledge trump more. Kosk never really does it but it's something that will help you in quite a number of match ups.

I wish I had more people to actively practice this stuff with, cause FG sure ain't the place to go.

EDIT: Oh hey the servers are back up.
